\text{Hey there!}


-5(3)/(4)-3(1)/(2)=?


\text{-5}(3)/(4)=\text{-5}*\text{4+3}\rightarrow\text{-5}*4=-20\rightarrow\text{-20 + 3 = -23}


\text{The denominator stays the same:}-5(3)/(4)=-(23)/(4)


\text{3}(1)/(2)=3*2+1\rightarrow3*2=6+1\rightarrow6+1=7


\text{3}(1)/(2)=(7)/(2)


(-23)/(7)-(7)/(2)=?


\text{Solve the NEWER question above}\uparrow\text{and you will see your answer}


\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer:Improper\ fraction:(-37)/(4)\ or\ Mixed\ number:-9(1)/(4)}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
